About me

I received in 2000 a B.Sc. in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering (Mobile Communications and Satellites Speciality) from University Politehnica of Bucharest. From 2000 to 2005 I worked as hardware and software development engineer for the Elektronik- Forschung- and Entwicklungsgesellschaft m.b.H (Muehltal, Germany), being responsible for the development of a data and voice communication system for prisons and hospitals. From 2005 to 2011 I worked in the same area in Bucharest, Romania. I received in 2013 a Ph.D. degree (Magna cum laude) in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from University Politehnica of Bucharest, with a thesis entitled “Efficient Use of Spectrum based on the Cognitive Radio Technology”. Since 2007 I have been with the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology, Telecommunications Department, where I have been Teaching Assistant (2007-2013), Lecturer (2013-2019) and Associate Professor (since 2019). Since 2023, I am PhD supervisor in the Doctoral School of Electronics, Telecommunications & Information Technology, National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest.

My research interests are related to the wireless communications field, with an emphasis on cognitive radio technology, spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum access. I have been involved in several European-funded and national research projects, from which for two I was project manager.

I have published over 60 papers in refereed journals and recognized conferences. I have been a member of the Technical Committee for several international conferences, as well as reviewer for IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, Wiley and MDPI journals.

I am a Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and IEEE Broadcasting Technology Society (BTS).
